I'd like to give a quick thank you to all of you who have read my fic. Also I'm sorry for the late post but lately I've been suffering from a condition commonly known as writers block and all I've been able to plan out was stuff that will be happening far later into this story. And it doesn't help that just as soon as I started getting inspiration for the story...the new Naruto game has to come out and I'm unable to put it down. So I'm trying to get some writing down during my breaks as well as whenever the game is either loading or saving.

"Speaking"

'Demon/Summon thinking'

"Jutsu/Attack name"

Once Nojiko finished explaining their situation on the island she could practically see the fire in Narutos eyes. "Now Naruto-san...you promised that you'd leave it to Nami and her plan!" Naruto gives an inaudible grunt as he walks towards the nearest tree and comes to a stop. He then leans back and headbutts the tree with enough force to knock it completely over and even uproot it. After a few moments he turns back to Nojiko. "Ya I did promise that...Though that doesn't mean I can't still be pissed at Arlong." He says and Nojiko notices a trickle of blood running down his head from when he hit the tree.

"True. But that was still a stupid thing to do Naruto-san. Look your hurt." She walks over to him and somehow convinces him to sit down so she can tend to his wound. Once Nojiko manages to remove his hitai-ate she was quite surprised to see that the wound on his head was rapidly healing. Her mouth drops open in surprise. "How is it that your body is healing so fast?" She asks.

"Huh? Oh my body has always been like this. I've been able to heal exceptionally fast ever since I was young." Naruto casually explains without really telling her much. But before she can inquirer further, the village leader Genzo comes up the hill alongside the doctor. "Hey Nojiko look out there, there's a marine vessel! Apparently some of the survivors from Gosa Village managed to get a message to the government and..." Genzo says but then notices Naruto sitting close to Nojiko. "Hey aren't you that guy who saved Nojiko earlier?"

Naruto nods. "Ya...so whats this you were saying about a marine vessel?" He asks as the sound of cannon fire draws his attention. The four then look out at sea and notice a large ship that had just shot a cannonball towards Arlong Park. "Shit! This is not going to end well." Naruto states just before he races towards the edge of the cliff. "Ahh Naruto-san! Not that way! There's a sheer drop there! " Nojiko exclaims as she watches Naruto leap off the cliff and vanish from sight. She races over to the edge expecting to see the worst.

Genzo grabs Nojikos arm keeping her from going to close to the edge. "Nojiko...it's too late for him... there's no way he could have survived tha-" Genzo starts too say before exclaiming in disbelief. "What the HELL!" He points out to sea at the figure of Naruto racing towards the ship.

"...Just who or what is Naruto-san?" The trio ask themselves.

XxX

At the marine vessel the marines were preparing the cannons for another assault when a fishman leaps onto the railing of the ship and shoots out a small glob of water directly at one of the marines. The glob flies directly through his body causing the marine to cry out in pain before collapsing. A number of the marines unsheathe their swords and prepare to attack.

"Halt! Stay where you are men!" Says a man with a crazy hairstyle and looks to be wearing a fancy uniform complete with the mantle of a superior. He then turns his gaze towards the fishman. "I'm Commodore Purinpurin of Navy Base Seventy-Seven. We're an elite fighting unit, feared across-" He starts to explain but is interrupted when the same fishman shoots him in the chest.

The Commodore falls backward with his hands to his chest as he screams out in pain. "He shot the Commodore! Seize him!" The marines call out as they watch their leader fall.

Suddenly their ship starts to shake as the rudder of the ship was forcibly removed. The fishman sitting on the railing lets out a quick laugh before pointing his webbed finger down. "We've just removed your rudder. And a rudderless ship...belongs on the ocean floor." He says as the ocean starts to churn beneath their ship and a gigantic whirlpool appears just in front of them.

All the marines on the ship let out a cry of anguish as they prepare for their inevitable demise. As everyone on the ship starts to panic except for the fishman who simply sits there laughing, no one notices a certain blond man leap onto the ship until he kicks the fishman square in the face sending him flying directly into the whirlpool.

The commotion Naruto caused with his little stunt didn't go unnoticed as several marines noticed what he just did. One points to him as he shakes. "W-Who are you? How did you get on the ship?" He questioned Naruto.

A simple glare from Naruto was enough to shut them up as he makes his usual hand sign. "I'm here to save you morons! So just shut up for a moment."

"Multi Shadow Clone Jutsu!" He calls out and about sixty clones of Naruto appear at random points on the ship. Once the clones appear they immediately go to work and they each grab 1-2 marines before leaping a fair distance away from the ship and race back to shore. The original Naruto grabs the commodore and the marine who tried asking who he was. The entire way back to shore many of the marines were screaming. A couple of the clones ended up threatening the marines to either shut up or they'd dump them into the water. Needless to say the majority of the marines shut up except for a few individuals who were quickly dunked into the water and dragged across the surface the rest of the way.

From the top of the cliff the trio had seen the entire rescue as well as Naruto smashing in the fishmans face and once they saw where Naruto was bringing his rescued Marines, they were quick to head in the same direction to help out in whatever way was needed. Once Naruto and his clones reach they shore in a small cove they all unceremoniously dropped the marines onto the sand except for the injured Commodore. With their jobs done the clones all disperse simultaneously leaving just the original.

Once the doctor arrived he quickly races over to the marines and begins to administer treatment to the wounded. With his task accomplished Naruto heads over to the cliff and leaps up a little ways to a ledge and lays back against the cliff in a comfortable position to oversee the small cove. The doctor turns to Nojiko and Genzo. "Hey do you guys mind quickly heading back to town to get some more bandages and medication?" The duo nod and race off in the direction of the village.

Most of the rescued marines keep a cautious eye on their so called saviour, especially since they knew nothing about him and couldn't completely trust him. After several minutes of uneasy silence the Commodore finally regains consciousness. "Ugh...where am I?" He asks as he looks around at his fellow marines on the beach. One of them walks towards him. "We're all glad your alive Sir. But unfortunately we're now all shipwrecked on this island. The fishmen managed to sink the ship when they somehow managed to create a whirlpool directly in front of the ship!." The marine tells his commander with a solemn look on his face.

"What? If they managed to create a whirlpool then how the hell are we still alive?" Purinpurin asks the marines. In unison all the marines point to the blond man sitting on the cliffside. The commodore looks up at the blond who in turn waves at him. He looks back at the marines. "Impossible. There's no way a single man could have done that. Now we still have two important missions to accomplish and we need a ship for both of them. Now as we were arriving to this island there was a fair sized vessel docked not too far away from the remains of the village of Gosa so we will have to confiscate it to rescue the people of this island." He tells his men who all cheer at his idea.

"Not a chance in hell are you stealing my ship you bastard!"

Commodore Purinpurin and the marines all turn to the source of the outburst to discover it was the blond who said it. Naruto was glaring at them from his position on the cliff. The commodore looks up at him. "I'm sorry young man but I have the authority to seize that ship especially if it's to rescue civilians. I can assure you that the ship will be returned to you once these missions are accomplished. Besides my orders come directly from Fleet Admiral Sengoku to locate and escort a VIP to Loguetown!" He says as he stares down Naruto.

"And as I said. You're not taking my ship. After arriving on this island I came to a decision to help the people here however they seem to want to deal with it themselves. Also you can tell Sengoku-san that I don't need a damn escort and I already told him that!" Naruto explains.

"Huh? What are you talking about kid? I said we were to escort a VIP not some little brat who's probably from some backwater land! This VIP is one of the leaders of another nation who is on his way to Marine HQ to talk with Fleet Admiral Sengoku and the other higher ups about establishing an alliance as well as having them join the World Government." The Commodore says with a smug look on his face. After a few moments of silence Naruto vanishes from his cliffside seat to reappear directly in front of the Purinpurin, and getting right in his face before saying anything more. "And didn't Sengoku-san tell you the name of this so called VIP? Because if the man your looking for is called Naruto Uzumaki then your looking at him!" Once Naruto gives him that answer he then backs a few feet away and looks at the marine with a smug and superior look.

This comment was more than enough to make the marine commodore to shut up and go pale as he realized that the young man before him that he had just been so rude to was in fact the very VIP he and his men were supposed to locate. The other marines in the cove soon shared the same pale expression as this new information sank in. Naruto looks at their expressions as he grins. "Looks like I was right, wasn't I...Commodore?"

The man slowly nods as before he tries to regain his rapidly lost composure. "I-I'm sorry about the disrespect Uzumaki-dono. I hope you can forgive me for my rash actions."

Naruto looks the man in the eye for a moment before letting out a quick sigh. "Ya...I guess I can forgive you." As Naruto says this both the marines and Purinpurin let out a sigh of relief. But before the Commodore can say anything he notices that Naruto eyes seem focused on something on top of the cliff. He follows his gaze to behold a tall white haired woman wearing a mask whom had a sword on her back was looking down at the group. "Who goes there?!" Purinpurin demands of the woman as he reaches for a weapon to defend himself as well as the VIP he was sent to guard. His hand reaches a sword which he wastes no time in drawing as he positions himself between Naruto and the woman.

The woman tilts her head in slight confusion for a moment before she vanishes from sight in a small shroud of mist and instantly reappears at Purinpurins side in a crouched position with the tip of her sword resting just under his chin. "Drop the weapon...or die!" She orders as the nearby marines fall back in shock at her sudden reappearance. Purinpurin was currently sweating and slightly shaking as he feels the tip of the blade under his chin. With slow and careful movements he makes it looks as if he's about to drop the sword however Naruto was able to tell that the man was preparing to do.

"Its fine Aurora-san. The guy's harmless." Naruto quickly tells her before she was forced to impale the man. Her emerald eyes rest on Naruto for a moment before she retracts her sword and placing it on her back as she stands upright. "Yes Naruto-sama." Aurora says before she walks over to Naruto. "I have the information you requested on Arlong."

With a grin Naruto nods to her. "Thanks Aurora-san. Also what is Zoros condition?" He inquirers.

Aurora then informs Naruto about everything that happened in Arlong Park since her arrival up to and including the fake assassination of Usopp by Namis hands. Naruto remains quiet as he listens to her every word. Even the marines were silent throughout her entire explanation. "...and I was about to interfere and rescue the long nosed one as you would have wished, however I noticed the path of the blade wasn't going to actually kill him since the orange haired woman the fishmen called Nami instead chose to stab her own hand to make it appear as if she did in fact kill him."

Naruto raises a hand and strokes his chin as he thinks on what Aurora just told him. "Hmm...that was quite brave of Nami-san to do that. I'm impressed." He says as he smiles to himself. "Was that everything Aurora-san? Was there anything that happened after Nami-san left?"

Aurora nods. "Yes...The one known as Arlong spoke to his crew and admitted that he had no intention of letting Nami leave his crew so he took one of those transponder snails and called someone named Nezumi. He spoke about making a deal with the marine that if he confiscated her money for Arlong then he would allow Nezumi to keep a portion of it himself."

"...What?" Naruto asks as his eyes go wide. Not only him but the doctor stops treating one of the marines to race over to Aurora. "Are you serious? Did that bastard really say that?" He asks Aurora who simply nods. "Dammit! He really had no intention to honour their agreement and will continue to make our poor Nami suffer!" The doctor says as he drops to his knees and pounds his fists into the sand in anger.

The sound of a loud crash attracts everyones attention back to the cliff which now had a large crater in it with Narutos fist at the centre. "That bastard...I'll gut him for this!" Naruto openly threatens as a faint red glow begins to surround him. He turns towards Purinpurin and the marines who then notice the change in Narutos eyes from its usual blue to becoming red in colour with a diagonal slit. Naruto points at the doctor then at Purinpurin. "Doctor I want you to lead Purinpurin-san and his men back to Nami-san and Nojiko-sans place and I want them to arrest that corrupt bastard. Commodore...You are not to do anything more to him before I see him myself. Me and my crew will be the ones to interrogate him since we won't be anything close to gentle about it!"

The doctor and the marines give him a careful nod before Purinpurin speaks up. "Normally I wouldn't take orders from you...however since this seems to be a special case I will allow it and...reluctantly follow. So what will you and your crew be doing in the meantime Naruto-dono?" He asks with a hint of fear in his voice as his gaze stays focused on the furious blond before him.

"I intent to go to this Arlong Park myself and raze it to the ground!" Naruto says before he turns to an unflinching Aurora who didn't seem at all fazed by him. "Aurora-san! I want you to quickly head back to the ship and bring TenTen-chan, Lisanna-chan as well as Kankuro to Arlong Park as soon as you can. Now I know I can handle this myself however...It doesn't hurt to be careful." He then closes his eyes and takes a deep breath to calm himself. When he finally opens them the marines breath another sigh of relief as they see that his eyes have reverted back to normal and the strange red shroud has dissipated.

Aurora nods to him before racing out into the bay and makes her way back to the ship as she races across the waters surface.

Purinpurin sweat drops as he watches her leave before turning back to his men. "Alright marines! We have our orders and we will carry them out perfectly! Doctor-san would you please lead the way?" Says Purinpurin to his men then to the doctor who nods and leads the way.

Now being the only one left in the clearing Naruto takes a moment to crack his knuckles as he hears a familiar deep voice in his head. "That plan is unnecessary and you know it. Why not just transform into me and simply blow up the pirates with a Bijudama? Or is that too gentle a punishment?" Says Narutos partner the gigantic nine-tailed fox known as Kurama.

"Ya if I did that then it would be over in an instant. However it would also be painless for them and that just won't do since they've made this entire island and its inhabitants suffer for eight long years." Naruto says to Kurama who chuckles in amusement. "Agreed so lets go teach this fish a lesson on who's at the top of the food chain. And that would be me of course!" Kurama states with a wicked foxy grin.

With his inner conversation finished he then races off to Arlong Park to send that shark packing.

Ok once again I apologize for the delay in posting this chapter. Since I just managed to finish beating the storyline in the game I figured I should finish this chapter as well as another before picking up the controller again to make it up to you all. Thank you all for your patience and I hope you will enjoy this chapter as well as the fight between Naruto and Arlong!

I do love reading all your wonderful reviews since it also gives me more motivation to write. Now I hope that gives you all some motivation as well lol!
